Port of Portland Operations Manager Alan Byers hopes to further develop his passion for mentoring employees to reach their potential in his new role as a board member of Westvic Staffing Solutions.
The appointment came about after Westvic helped the Port of Portland in the selection of an apprentice fitter and turner.
“That was the first apprentice employed by the Port for quite a few years and the process worked very smoothly,” Mr Byers said.
“They asked if I was interested in joining the board and I thought that it would be a good opportunity for me to contribute in a positive manner to the local community,” he said.
Mr Byers said he enjoys mentoring employees to reach their potential. “It is rewarding to see people fulfil their potential in roles that are beneficial both to themselves and the employer.
“That is something I enjoy doing so joining the Westvic board was a natural move for me.”
Mr Byers, who replaced George James at the board’s new Portland representative, said he was enjoying his time in the city. “I love it and plan to retire here,” he said.
Westvic Staffing Solutions CEO Miles Coverdale said Mr Byers brought strong people, financial management and Occupational Health and Safety skills to the board. He holds qualifications in Business, HR and OHS as well as trade related certificates.
